About

🔸 Welcome everyone! 🔸 For over 5 years, I have been working in corporate finance, first as a Senior Financial Auditor at KPMG and then as a Consolidation Analyst at Air Liquide. I decided to embark on a freelance career as a Corporate Finance Consultant, leveraging my skills to optimize working files for various companies using Excel/VBA. I later experienced a change in my personal environment and joined the consulting firm WIP Advisory in Martinique. 📊 My professional background has allowed me to develop strong skills in financial analysis, risk management, and compliance with accounting standards. I have also gained in-depth knowledge of financial tools and the audit process. 💼 After analyzing how corporate finance professionals work, I realized that optimizing working files—mostly in Excel—could significantly enhance productivity. 📍 Currently based in Martinique, I aim to further develop my professional skills within a consulting firm. 🚀 I am convinced that my diverse background and passion for challenges will open new doors and help me achieve my professional goals. I am also always open to meaningful and enriching collaborations. 📩 Feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss projects, collaborations, or simply connect and chat about the finance world and new opportunities! #Finance #FinancialAudit #ManagementControl #CFO #Remote #Paris #ExcelVBA #FinanceConsultant #Opportunities
